Chapter 19: The Killer Looms

The problem that Merry has been suffering about has finally been solved, as long as he has a clear goal, then he will no longer be confused, and as for whether he will be a goof in the future, that is also a matter for the future. However, Merry is convinced that with his own wisdom, he will never be discovered.

In the courtyard, a black shadow quietly fell from the beams of the house, and the black shadow man was dressed in black, and his steps were light, like a ghost, and not even a speck of dust was splashed.

Hidden in his left sleeve was a dagger, dressed in black and masked, apparently afraid of being recognized, and from the direction in which he was walking, it was evident that he was heading towards the wind.

Merry didn't know at the moment that when he was secretly proud, the crisis had quietly come.

※※※

Su Yan sat quietly at the head of the bed, her eyes were blank, as if she was thinking about something, and after a long time, she raised her head, looked at the dancing candle flame in front of her, and whispered: "Am I too angry? Why do I care so much about his departure? He is not the kind of gentleman, maybe there is something wrong with him when he comes home? Do you think I misunderstood him?"

There was no answer, only the wind outside the window and the candlelight in the house flickering.

Is there always an infatuated person sighing for love every night?

Su Yan stood up abruptly and said to herself: "No, I have to apologize to him, I am too out of control today, he is by no means the kind of person who is greedy for power, I should believe him." ”

Thinking like this, his mood suddenly brightened, and then he looked in the mirror, straightened his hair, pushed open the door, and walked towards the merry room.

Su Yan thought as she walked, what should she say then? Apologize as soon as she opened her mouth? It doesn't seem to fit her own character, and she is a daughter's family, how can she be embarrassed to speak.

Just as he was about to reach the merry house, a black shadow walked to the door of the merry house with a dagger in his hand, apparently with bad intentions.

Seeing this situation, Su Yan was anxious, and suddenly shouted: "Who is it?"

The man in black was shocked when he heard this, maybe he didn't expect that he was discovered, he couldn't care so much at this time, the purpose of his coming was to assassinate Merry, and regardless of the consequences after being discovered, without saying a word, he immediately slammed open the door, held a dagger, and stabbed towards Merry on the bed.

Merry had never fallen asleep in the room, but when she heard Su Yan's shout, she already knew that the situation was wrong, and instantly turned over and hid under the bed.

At this moment, the man in black flew forward and stabbed at the bed, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "If you are exposed, you will be exposed! As long as I can assassinate this kid, my mission will be completed." ”

The dagger was easily inserted into the quilt, but in an instant, the man in black already knew that there was no one in the quilt, and at this time, Su Yan had already arrived and slashed at his back.

The black-clothed body spun around, dodging Su Yan's knife, and then quickly pulled out a big knife from his back and slashed at Su Yan.

"Sister Yan be careful!"

The secret merry exclaimed, took his shoes from under the bed and threw them at the man in black, and shouted fiercely: "Look at my secret weapon!"

The black-clothed man did not doubt him in his heart, so he immediately restrained the attack, turned sideways, and rolled on the ground, avoiding the "hidden weapon" of the merry.

At this time, the black-clothed man found out that he had been fooled, and when he saw that it was a shoe thrown over, he cursed in his heart: "What a cunning boy!"

was about to slash Merry with a knife, but he heard Su Yan scream angrily and slashed at the top of his head.

The man in black didn't care about the romance, raised his knife to hold Su Yan's knife, and shook violently, and the incomparable Yuan Force shook out, shattering all the seats in the room.

Su Yan was unable to parry, was shocked and flew up, and landed beside Merry.

"Sister Yan, how are you?" asked Merry in a hurry.

A mouthful of blood gushed up her throat, but Su Yan was resolute by nature, and she was afraid of being worried, so she swallowed the blood in her throat and replied, "I'm not in the way." ”

"Hehe, what a touching side! Such affection, let me do good deeds and let you die together!"

The man in black sneered and strode towards the merry man and Su Yan.

"Little ghost, I'll stop him, you go first!" Su Yan pushed away the merry flow next to him and stood up with difficulty.

There was a sour feeling in Merry's heart, and a wave of pride suddenly rose in his chest, and he said loudly: "If you don't go, I won't go, it's a big deal to die together!"

Su Yan's body trembled, the hand holding the knife became even harder, and a warm current in her heart rushed to the top of her head, and in just a moment, it seemed that the heavens and the earth were still.

It turns out that this moment is eternal!

She almost couldn't control herself, but she snorted coldly and scolded angrily: "Why are you so stupid? You idiot, I told you to leave, did you hear that?"

Merry stepped out, stood in front of Su Yan, and said firmly to the man in black: "It's me who you're going to kill, let her go, something is coming at me." ”

The man in black sneered, indescribably cold, his expression was full of disdain, and said, "You and I want to kill, she has to die!"

"Not necessarily!"

Just as the man in black finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door, and before the voice fell, there was suddenly one more person in the room, standing in front of Su Yan and Merry, it was Wu Shitian.

The man in black was shocked, the person who came was so fast, he didn't know how this person came in, and this person was imposing, and when he stood there, the violent aura was enough to make him feel cold.

"You're a member of the killer mercenary group!" Wu Shitian said indifferently.

The man in black was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't expect his identity to be known to the other party at once.

However, after all, he was a member of the killer mercenary group, so he calmed down in a moment and asked, "Who is Your Excellency, who actually knows about the killer mercenary group?"

Words are not answered, but they have been demonstrated!

Wu Shitian snorted coldly: "Even if you are a member of the killer mercenary group, you don't dare to touch my young lady, who are you instructed by?"

The man in black shook his head and said, "Although Your Excellency's strength is much better than mine, you may never be able to go back today, but I will not betray my employer." ”

"Okay, for this, fight with me, and leave you all corpses!"

As soon as Wu Shitian's voice fell, his body instantly approached the man in black, and the wind and clouds stirred in his hand, and the house was shattered.

The man in black was shocked, and his body retreated suddenly, not daring to fight hard with Wu Shitian.

"Since you're here, you have to leave something behind, and you want to run?

As soon as Wu Shitian's voice fell, his body rushed out like an arrow from the string, and the two of them instantly arrived outside the courtyard and had already fought each other.

At this time, Du Wei Du Lin and the others had already come to the outside of the courtyard, and looked at the two people fighting in the courtyard with the merry Su Yan.

Both of them are rank masters, but the man in black is obviously only a wind-level martial artist, and naturally he is not the opponent of Wu Shitianyu-level martial artist, but he has already fallen into the disadvantage after dozens of rounds.

Suddenly hearing Wu Shitian shout, a punch blasted forward, and the ground stone slab flew up, as if it was swept by a tornado.

A crazy and wild Yuan Force went out to sea like a wild dragon and rushed towards the man in black.

The man in black couldn't resist at all, and was shocked by the punch and flew out, landing on the roof, smashing through the roof.

Wu Shitian stomped on one foot, turned his hand and pushed forward with a palm, and the overwhelming palm force directly lifted the entire house into the air, while the man in black covered his chest, and blood gushed out of his mouth.

Wu Shitian stepped out, came to the man in black, and asked with a cold face: "One last chance, tell me about the employer." The tone is non-negotiable.

The man in black sneered: "The people of our killer mercenary group are never afraid of death, you will never know ......" Speaking of this, the man in black rolled his eyes and lost his breath.

Merry and Su Yan and the others came to Wu Shitian's side, and seeing that the man in black was dead, Merry said in a low voice: "Dead?"

Wu Shitian replied lightly: "He died by taking poison, and the people of the killer mercenary group are not comparable to ordinary people." ”

Merry squatted down and was about to uncover the black cloth on the face of the man in black, but Wu Shitian waved his hand and said, "You don't need to look at it, even if you do, you won't be able to recognize who he is, because the people of the killer mercenary group rarely show their true faces." ”

Su Yan glanced at Merry and asked, "Who have you offended, why would someone ask someone from the Killer Mercenary Group to kill you?"

This is a question that even Wu Shitian is more curious about.

Merry shook his head and said, "I don't know, it seems that I haven't provoked anyone!" Merry was indeed a little puzzled, because he hadn't come into contact with many people in this world at all, let alone made a feud, and he wasn't sure if it was the person who had offended the dead Merry who came to seek revenge.

"Childe is a child of a family, maybe someone sent by several other families. Du Wei said.

After hearing this, Du Lin nodded and said: "It's also possible, after all, the strength of the four major families is not much different, and the Feng family is the head of the four major families, and it is also possible for the rest of the families to be dissatisfied with inviting someone to assassinate Gongzi." ”

Wu Shitian sighed and said, "It seems that it is not so easy for you to return to the Feng family, presumably there must be killers coming to ask for your life along the way." ”

After Su Yan heard this, she was anxious, and said to the merry: "Then don't go back!"

The words were very anxious, and after speaking, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and his face suddenly turned red, and his heartbeat accelerated a lot.

After hearing this, the merry man shook his head and said: "There are things that I know I can't do but want to do them, I am a dignified man, and my husband must be responsible when he is born in the world, if he is afraid in his heart and does not do it, then what is the point of living?"

After hearing this, Wu Shitian exclaimed: "The eldest husband must be responsible when he is born in the world, and he said it well! But I didn't expect you to be able to say such things at a young age, and you really deserve to be a descendant of the Feng family." Just say this to you, I will guarantee you to return to the Feng family, even if you fight for this life, you will not hesitate. ”

Merry was stunned, and asked with some doubts: "Uncle Wu, are you...... You mean to protect me all the way back to the Feng family?"

Wu Shitian replied with a smile: "I'm afraid it's more than ten days away from the Feng family here, how can you go back alone, I naturally want to send you back, but it depends on whether my young lady agrees." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Su Yan with a smile on his face, and a trace of cunning flashed in his expression.

Su Yan was overjoyed when she heard this, and nodded hurriedly: "Agreed, of course I agree, anyway, we don't have anything to do now, besides, if you start from here, you can also meet some demon beasts if you go to the mountains and forests, and you can also gain something." ”

In fact, Su Yan doesn't know if there are any demon beasts, but this so-called "harvest"...... Presumably there will be.

Du Lin smiled and said, "Now I guess Childe won't be bored alone." ”

Du Wei continued: "Anyway, we have to go to the Feng family's territory to do something, so we should stop by!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Su Yan with a strange smile on his face and asked, "Sister Yan, did you say yes?"

Su Yan didn't know Du Wei's thoughts, it was clear that she was just giving herself an excuse to escort the Merry Hui clan, and immediately said, "No...... That's right, we're just going with the flow...... Just drop by. When he said this, he didn't even have the confidence to do so.

Wu Shitian saw that everyone had no opinions, so he said: "It will take more than ten days to travel from here to Fengjia on the main road, but we can pass through the beast forest, and it only takes five days to arrive." ”

There are many beasts in the forest and brutes, and there are also many high-level demon beasts, and many adventure groups often go in and out of them, but they don't dare to go too deep, just in the outer areas. It is even more difficult to pass through the beast forest, but Su Yan and the others have the beast avoidance jade, so the situation has to be another matter.

Wu Shitian didn't think about it, although the Beast Forest was more dangerous, it was not a safe place, so that he could avoid those killer mercenary groups.

Killers have always been assassinated in secret, and few people fight head-on, unless they are forced to do so or by powerful people. But if they enter the Beast Forest, then everything will be different, and they may face hordes of demon beasts at any time, which they are unwilling to face.

Therefore, there is a reason why Wu Shitian chose to walk through the beast forest, the purpose is to avoid those people from the killer mercenary group.

Wu Shitian saw that his young lady had no opinion, so he said: "Since everyone has no opinion, let's go to sleep! We will set off towards the beast forest early tomorrow morning." ”

Will they really be able to get there safely?
